Default SC430 on ebay - $3,500,000.00

I ran across this ridiculousness on ebay.

I'm especially intrigued by the seller's claim of "I'VE HAD TO RAISE THE BIN PRICE DUE TO A BIDDING FRENZY WITHIN THE MAKE OFFER PRICING BEING OVER 2 MILLION DOLLARS."

Lots of facts wrong in the listing, for example: "LEXUS PLACED TECHNOLOGY ON THIS CAR, THAT WASN'T YET AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, NOR INSTALLED IN THEIR OR ANY OTHER CARS IN THAT MODEL YEAR. EXAMPLE: BLUETOOTH IS IN THIS CAR, HOWEVER, BLUETOOTH WASN'T AVAILABLE AS AN OPTION UNTIL 2008. "

My guess is that this is a publicity stunt, at best. Interesting that seller is located in Hilton Head Island, SC whereas the pictures were taken at an Acura dealership in Cleveland, Ohio. Also, the seller has a total of six eBay sales, none of which exceeded $100.

Yeah, there's something very fishy about this car. I really doubt Lexus painted it as a one-of-a-kind after stopping the production line! Probably a Mary Kay car!

You are right, this is a big hoax! eBay should remove this seller once folks report his fraudulent activity!

Mine's not pink so I'd let it go for 1 million if anyone's interested.

I recall a pink SC being sold on Ebay in around 2009 or 2010, I think it was in Cleveland, with the add saying it had a $10,000 paint job. I think it sold for around the high $20k's, but can't recall for sure. I'm guessing this is the same one.

This "THING" has been on eBay before - last time the ad was removed by eBay for some reason or another as I recall.

Nasty. Makes me shiver.



PS: this makes me laugh so hard I almost wet my pants:


Q: Icertainly hope for that price those are real diamonds in photo. Guess the offer of 1.5 was not high enough. Please send contact number to discuss cash offer.
A: I've had someone else offer 2.0 M....just make offer through the ebay site with any notes or anything else you would like for me to know...and I will take a look at it. Thanks, Norma

Sorry *****, steals-and-deals-for-elite-individuals-with-champagne-taste has turned down your offer of US $1.00. Make another offer before the item ends.

this SC's clean for being pink. I never really liked those wheels, but that ebay ad just makes it soooo much worse
